Too many unanswered prayers. Too many people praying to a God that does not exist, to a concept not real, or a consciousness not fully embraced. We can't take a break in our daily demeanor or doubt and fear and pray for faith for something, return to the state of mind before we began paying, and hope to see any successful conclusion to the prayer.
Play the fool! Be the fool for Christ. Be silly and BE the prayer that you just prayed- not for the moment but for the day, into the night, and at the first break of sunlight or alarm clock ringing.
God is Spirit, Pure Consciousness, and we must speak to our spirit, the consciousness that is us, and then feel and BE that prayer. One can't preay as the Pharisees did with vain repititions and monochrome visions.
To be conscious of being POOR while praying for RICHES is to waste time and if anything only be rewarded with that which you're conscious of- your poverty! To pray for HEALTH while being conscious of the pain from which you expect healing simply tkes away the power of FAITH. Is this easy? Hell no! But, it is a MUST!
While wew bear the image of the earthly, we also bear the image of the heavenly ( I Cor. 15:49).
Mark got it right when he wrote (Mark 11:24), "Whatever THINGS you desire, when you PRAY, BELIEVE...." Believe not that you will one day have them, but BELIEVE you NOW possess them (it). We must deny the UNREALITY of what we see because whatever the physical is that stands in our way is temporal. What's NOT YET SEEN is what's real.
Matthew reminded us to go WITHIN to our spirit man (consciousness) or what King James said was our "closet". And it's from that "secret place" that the Father releases the blessings. All good thins come from above, but out of the within!
BE your next PRAYER!
